Trying to clarify here what is "embedded" :
EJBContainer.createEJBContainer() is a new standard API defined by EJB 3.1
It uses GlassFish embedded as the implementation.
GlassFish embedded refers to the APIs [1] available to drive all the features of GlassFish v3 (not just the EJB container).
Of course this API is specific to GlassFish. The Maven plugin [2] also uses the embedded API under the covers.
In all cases, there is only one GlassFish with multiple ways to run/start it.
The source code is all at
https://glassfish-svn.dev.java.net/source/browse/glassfish-svn/
You may want to read the "Embedded Server Guide"

I like the idea of using Embedded Glassfish, it feels more like a unit/integration test because it feels more "stand alone". I only started with the Embedded API because it seemed a lot simpler to setup and I did not see examples of using Embedded Glassfish to directly invoke EJB's for a unit/integration test like I did with the Embedded API.
